7. Microfiche? What the Heck is that?


Well, I never thought I would be presented with the task of finding the definition of microfiche. I had no earthly idea what this was until I began to wander around the second floor of McIntyre Library. I guess it is true the library as all the answers. I found the microfiche next to the microfilm, well because both things are very similar. In case you just as confused as I was when I saw this word on paper, let me explain what a microfiche is. Like I stated, it is very similar to microfilm in the sense that both of them are used to store a lot of written information in a small space. Microfiche is placed in a projector in order for the user to read the small text on it. I have provided pictures for your enjoyment. I am happy to say I know what a microfiche is, a word I never even knew existed.
